hi everybody.... I really need some advice. My husband was deployed last november 19th. He comes home this Friday and we we be filling for divorce. 2 weeks before he left last year I found out he was unfaithful...again. We dicided when he came home in August for leave that we would split up. I am from Washington state and met him there in 92 when he was stationed there, we then moved out to vt bc this is where he is from. Now I want to go home w/ our 2 kids aged 9 & 12 and he has agreed but I dont trust him. I havent filed yet but I have filled out the papers and have made an appt for a consultation with a lawyer next Tuesday. I wonder if anybody has been in my situation before. Or if you have any advice. I am so terrified. I can imagine him coming home and his family talking him into and then financing going for custody. Thank you for your time, Neacie
Worst case scenerio you will have to stay where you are....if he says he doesn't mind you going back close to your family then maybe he doesn't...I don't understand why he would want you to move away and it really isn't fair to the kids that he doesn't mind but I would do what works for you and the kids and make the best of it...personally I would try to stay close and let the kids have a relationship with him if he can be a positive, loving person in their lives...they are going to need the both of you...
Keep the faith! I am going through a difficult divorce in Lamoille County. Get some good legal advice through legal aid or the lawyer referral service. Legal counsel is not cheap, but is well worth it! Truly, I could not have gotten this far in my divorce without some good legal advice! I have 2 kids 15 and 11 and am thinking of their future and happiness. Keep the faith and get some good legal advice. I told my lawyer my side, warts and all, and told her the only thing I wanted was custody of the kids and what was fair. A year later, I feel the same way. Listen to your gut feelings and get some legal advice! Don't try to go it alone. You need someone on your side who will help you. Good Luck, Jean
